I do remember this question from one of the off-topics recently ;) I'm not in a state where I'm supposed to answer such a question, however let me still try though: strings /usr/bin/rhgb | grep -i lib suggests that only ld-linux.so.2 is hard-coded to /lib/. Also, ldd /usr/bin/rhgb seems to indicate that only /lib/ld-linux.so.2 is hard-coded. I didn't bother to recursively check whether any of the pulled-in libs is expecting a hard-coded path, but I'd be surprised if so. The only thing I'm wondering now is that whether at the time rhgb is initiated, how a proper LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be set (already)... Not really the answer, but I hope some food for thought at least. Why don't you prepare a (tested) rescue CD and simply mv your libs over and see whether you can boot? Just put your /opt/lib into /etc/ld.so.conf before you reboot... I'm wondering though why you want to go through all this pain -- at the end, all installations will be non-standard from that point on. You'll have to munge every ./configure and every rpm -U manually! If disk space is your problem, maybe a link might be the easier solution? > Also, this might not be the best forum to post this in, and I will look into the other Fedora forums. Coming from RH9, I encountered rhgb the first time when I met FC1, so I assume the forum is quite right... -- HaJo Schatz <hajo@xxxxxxxx> http://www.HaJo.Net PGP-Key: http://www.hajo.net/hajonet/keys/pgpkey_hajo.txt
